Day 31 Saint Goar – Bacharach

Day 31 Saint Goar – Bacharach

Saint Goar – Bacharach 28 October 2018 At breakfast with Morgan and his family, his mother sharply mentioned that as of today I’m one month on the way. We had an interesting conversation and one of the things I found out was why a lot of living rooms are on the first floor. Because when the Rhine has a lot of water in it, the ground floor floods often. His mother dropped me off at the ferry. There I continued…

Day 30 Karbach – Saint Goar

Karbach – Saint Goar 27 October 2018 Yesterday it was good that I made camp early , because around 7 it started to rain. This morning it was very foggy, so my whole tent was soaked when I packed it. It wasn’t warm last night, so I was happy to be on the move again. Because I was high up in the hills I had a good look over the hills and the river. I took a shortcut, but eventually…

Day 29 Bad Salzig – Karbach

Bad Salzig – Karbach 26 October 2018 This is Taryn my host: On the way to Karbach I walked over this square and it had this cute stream running over it. And as a graduated student Land and Watermanagement, I can be very enthusiastic about these kind of things. Further in the town I passed by this art of Saint Nikolaus. But I think I won’t get any present from him this year. New town, new manhole cover. The way…

Koblenz – Bad Salzig 25 October 2018 Today I went to the ‘Hausarzt’ (general practitioner) to get my last travel vaccination. FSME ( Früh Sommer Meningo Encephalitis) this is a brain infection. It is transmitted through ticks. The doctor’s assistant and the doctor were very friendly and interested in my journey. They also told me something about their travels. I left light-hearted. I went back to my host to get my stuff and say goodbye. Here is Nasr with my…

Day 26 Kell – Koblenz

23 October 2018 Kell – Koblenz Alfons drove me down from Kell to the Rhine, meanwhile he told me some history about the region. Down at the Rhine I had a long day ahead. First stop was Andernach. Alfons had explained that the valley opens at Andernach and near Koblenz close again. In Andernach I took a look in the Dom, but it was not that interesting. However, they did have a stamp of Compostela so I put this one…

Erpel 21- October 2018 I took a day off and my host didn’t mind that I stayed a day longer. I’m thankful for that. Sight seeing in this very small city. There was a primary school, the kids were baking wafels and playing games. I think they were raising money for their school. So I bought a waffle to ‘support’ them. Here is another high water marking. It it incredibly how high the water has been.

The only thing that was left to do, was…

Day 22 Bonn – Bad Godesberg

Day 22 Bonn – Bad Godesberg

Bonn – Bad Godesberg 19 October 2018 After having a pleasant stay at Jana & Alex, I was ready to travel further. Thanks for being so flexible. In the south part of Bonn there was this church and it played exactly the same tune as the clock at my mother’s house. In Bad Godesberg I passed by the Haribo factory store. It was total madness, more than 500 products only from Haribo. My teeth almost started to hurt from the…
